This Paper introduced a 4 bit Flash Analog to Digital converter. The propose ADC consist of the comparators and the MUX based decoder. Propose Comparator eliminate the use of resistor ladder in the circuit. All the input of comparators are connected to the common input node. Depending upon the internal voltage of comparator and the input voltage output may be “0” or “1” known as thermometer cod...

The reasons for the inferior performance of many existing buildings and associated energy systems are diverse, but an important part-cause is insufficient attention to the influence of occupant behaviour. In smart buildings it is necessary to allow for the integration of human behaviour in the HVAC system. In addition, many researchers are limited in their investigation by not having low cost t...

− The calibration of radiation thermometers requires knowledge of the target size effect on the thermometer output, namely the size of source effect (SSE). The measurement of an instrument SSE allows to calculate a correction, or an estimation for this source of uncertainty. For a correct determination of SSE it is necessary to use large aperture radiation sources of uniform spectral radiance. ...

Heat transport in the quantum Hall regime is investigated using micron-scale heaters and thermometers positioned along the edge of a millimeter-scale two dimensional electron system (2DES). The heaters rely on localized current injection into the 2DES, while the thermometers are based on the thermoelectric effect. In the nu=1 integer quantized Hall state, a thermoelectric signal appears at an e...

The meaning of temperature in nonequilibrium thermodynamics is considered by using a forced harmonic oscillator in a heat bath, where we have two effective temperatures for the position and the momentum, respectively. We propose a concrete model of a thermometer to testify the validity of these different temperatures from the operational point of view. It is found that the measured temperature ...
